6/3 wire? What's that for? Electric furnace and heat pump? I know I've got some heavy gage stuff in my place, but there's hunerds of feet of 12/2 and 14/2.

No prob on the call back. I got my answer when I bought boxes at Home Depot.

I think I have to hate you tho. I left work early and still only ran wire to the two garage outside lights I didn't get done Sunday, installed a box for one of the ceiling lights that I ran out of boxes for Sunday, and move a bunch of lumber, and then drilled less than half the holes in the studs for the outlet runs, and then broke the bulb in my trouble light and it was dark outside. That seemed like a good place to stop.

I guess I'm real slow, but also I find that each of my outside garage lights is on a shear wall with a stud right behind where I have to drill and holesaw thru for the box installation. Major pain, and it takes three hands and nimbler fingers than I have to get that damn NM cable to run around the cut out stud, thru the wall, and into the dinky hole in the box that is at exactly the wrong angle. Obviously the electrician didn't have to deal with this kind of crap in the house or he would still be there trying to thread cable thru some impossible place. My rule of thumb is that every task takes 3 times longer than it should. That way I'm surprised and happy when it doesn't.

Reminder: take new light bulb with me tomorrow unless I go to the Monty WDFW meeting.
